Dear Letter Lovers,

As mentioned in the previous Girly Girl Christmas Wishlist Post, Fabulous Letters From Lisbon shall be posting wishlists for all ages and genres. 


We're currently lining up a Children and Mother's edition for the end of the week.

If you have any questions please email us at fabulouslfl@gmail.com

This edition is targeted at Girly Tom Boys 

I'm not an expert on the subject of the Girly Tom Boy, so I asked my dear friend Rita Melo to come up with her very own take on this edition's Christmas Wish List.  

 Rita Melo: 
One of my many Lisbon Style Stars


WHY? 
Because Rita is a girl with a very eclectic and personal sense of style that can easily be translated into a pertinent and up-to-date wishlist capable of satisfying the tastes of any trendy female, especially the girly tom boys


The Girly Tom Boy

Rita likes to classify her overall style as Girly Tom Boy. So if you have a daughter, niece, friend, sister or girlfriend who falls into this category, pay close attention. 


A girly tom boy is far more nonchalant than a girly girl. The hair is usually messy, the accessories simple, the looks and cuts of their clothes are relatively masculine with just a hint of femininity. 


Drew Barrymore, Kelly Osbourne, Jennifer Anniston and Chloe Sevigny all fall into the Girly Tom Boy Style Category.

 

The Tom Boy Girly culture is made up of leathers, black, biker boots, denim as well as leggings matched with allstars. 

There's a very rock'n'roll biker boho chic vibe.



Check out some of the casual tom boy girly day-to-day wear:




The feminine touch is still important. These girls like to glam-up, they simply go by it in a much less pink party frill dress manner. 

Florence Welch:


Alexa Chung is another classic example of the Girly Tom Boy.

Her look is boyish, slightly scruffy, relaxed and yet ever-so-chic: 

 

Rita Melo is the queen of mix and match


"I love mixing styles into one outfit" 

Lets take a look at some of Rita's Girly Tom Boy favourite looks:
  •   A girly dress with biker boots:

  • Tight leggings paired with a large tshirt and fitted blazer:

  • Vintage pieces with fabulous heels:

  • Large dresses with belts and topped of with Ugg's:
